Betting is entertainment for adults aged 18 and over (21 and over in some countries). It is not a way to make money.
Stay in control
- Set a budget before you start and stick to it.
- Use deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion tools offered by bookmakers.
- Never chase losses.
- Do not bet when you are upset, tired or under the influence of alcohol.
Where to get help
If betting stops being fun, talk to someone. Free and confidential support is available from organisations such as BeGambleAware and Gambling Therapy.
